Import a list of LinkedIn profile URLs

Paste or upload profile URLs and let them resolve into leads.

If you already have LinkedIn profile URLs — from a spreadsheet, a colleague, a conference list — you can upload them and let LinkedLeads turn them into a proper lead list.

Prepare the file

A .txt or .csv file containing LinkedIn profile URLs. One per line is all that is needed.

Import it

  1. Go to Leads and click New import.
  2. Choose Import a list of LinkedIn profile URLs.
  3. In the window that opens, either browse for your file or drag and drop it in.
A dialog headed Export from Linkedin Profile Urls explaining the 80 profiles a day quota, with a drag-and-drop area for a TXT or CSV file.
The highlighted area takes the file. The text above it restates the 80-a-day ceiling.
  1. LinkedLeads tells you how many profiles it found in the file. Check that number looks right.
  2. Click Start import.
The same dialog after a file is chosen, reporting 349 detected profiles to be scraped.
The highlighted count is the check worth making — if it is well below your file's line count, the URLs are not in the expected form.

While it runs

The list appears under Leads and fills as it goes. You can queue other imports behind it.

If the count looks wrong

If the number of detected profiles is well below the number of lines in your file, the URLs are usually not in the form LinkedLeads expects. See troubleshoot a failed import.
